While the latest report of the Bureau of the Census shows that in 1?U tuberculosis caused over 10.5 of all deaths in the registration area of the United States, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis points out in a statement that the deathrate from this disease i steadily decreasing, having declined from 2 Ml.7 per 100,000 population in 1KM to 14(. in 1914. This would indicate, the Association cla'ims, that the anti-tuberculosis movement organized in' the rast ten years is having a nlarked effect on the mortality of tuberculosis, especially since the death-rate from this disease seems to be declining more rapidly than the general death-rate from all causes. Commenting on this decrease in the rate from tuberculosis, the Bureau of the Census says: "As a result.of a more gen-

era! understanding of the importance ul li

The average annual losses from smut in oats are greater than those caused by any other preventable cereal disease in the United States. Treating the sed with hot watr or with formaldehyde solution before sowing is an easy, cheap, and effective way of preventing this disease. The latter method, which is theone most available for general use, is here briefly summarized. Both method are descrild in detail in Farmers' Bulletin f7, which will be sent free on application to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, 1). C. Mix the formalin (a commercial preparation which is 37 formaldehyde by weight) with water at the rate of one pound (a little lesa than a pint) to forty gallons of water. The grain may be eitlier loosely inclosed in sacks or put loose into a tub or vat with the solution. Agitate the sacks or stir the loose grain occasionally so that the entire surface of every grain will be thoroughly wet. Instead of being immersed the seed oats may be spread on a clean floor or canvas and sprinkled with the solution and shoveled over during the process.

part, no doubt, to the efforts ol the vari

ous societies for the prevention of tuberculosis,' there has been a most marked and gratifying decrease during recent years in the mortality from this scourge of civilization. In only a decade from

1904 to 1914 the death-rate from tuber

culosis in all its forms fell from 200.7

to 140.8 per 100,000, the decline being

continuous from year. This is a drop of more than 25."

As an indication of the growth of the

campaign against tuberculosis, the Na

tional Association for the Study and

Prevention of Tuberculosis shows that in 1905, when the campaign was definitely

started, there were in the United States

only thirty-nine anti-tuberculosis asso

ciations, 115 sanatoria and hospitals,

twenty special clinics, no open air

schools, and not more than 5,000 people actively interested in the prevention of

this disease . At the close of the year 1915 there were over 1,500 anti-tuberculosis associations, C00 sanatoria aud hospitals, 450 dispensaries, 800 open air schools, and over 100,000 people actively interested in the prevention of tuberculosis. Besides this, the fundamental

solution will be needed for every bushel' of dry grain. Alter sprinkling, shovel the seed into a pile, cover it with sacks. wet with the solution, and allow it tostand for at least two hours before spreading it out to dry. Precautions. The oats may be seeded as soon as dry enough to run through the drill. If the seed is still moist, bowever, the drill must be set to sow more to the acre than if it is dry. The quantity which should be sown may be determined by measuring a given bulk before and after treatment and figuring the proportion of increase. After treating do not expose the seed to freezing until it is thoroughly dry. Do not allow the treated seed to come into contact with old sacks, bins, or machinery in which there may be smut spores If such must be used, scald them or wash them first with the formaldehyde solution.
